Simple but enjoyable game. The music gets a bit repetitive, and it would have been nice to have some kind of win condition, but great entry!

Gameplay was fun

That was pretty good. It didnt scale correctly in the web build until I went full screen, then was a lot easier to play.

Flying around in the spaceship was a lot of fun! I just flew around for a while enjoying watching my guy on the mini map. I really liked the music it fit the game real well.

I will say chucking the earth look alike planet into the sun and watching it get eaten was oddly satisfying.

Interesting mechanic! I did enjoy hauling planets around. The mini-map wasn't working for me so I got lost a bunch of times and colliding with the edge was kinda jarring. Chill game.

The sun is going down really kickly but really fun game, i enjoyed it !

That was really fun! I never thought i'd feed the sun :laughing:

cool mechanic, the earth defense gave me a chuckle

Really fun game with a great concept! Fantastic work! :)

Really neat concept. Love the harpoon mechanic. Would have liked to have guns to fire back at the defending ships

This over the top premise is wonderful! 😎🌞

Funny and relaxing game ! Well played !

This is a really cool idea, and the controls are pretty interesting once you get used to them. I agree with the other person that said it felt like the sun's health went down really fast - I didn't really get much of a chance to figure out the controls before I needed to have fed the sun. I only got one planet (and almost a second) on my first play. (Alternatively, if the planets gave the sun just a little bit more life it might also be a little less difficult.)

That said, it's still fun! I always like seeing unique ideas being executed. Thanks for an interesting entry.

I got one-shot by the earth defense. 10/10 for the humor on that. I agree with @cppchriscpp, if it's a little bit easier it'll be more enjoyable.

Cool game! Simple and fun

emaigualmc2-art 2021-10-08 16:02

I found the game and the idea very fun. As for art, several things can be improved and worked on, I found the pop-up poster a bit annoying when you get closer to the sun, maybe making it smaller or with some transparency would look better. Couldn't find the ship on the minimap at first xD overall great job!

Lovely game! My favorite part was to just line up planets on collision course with the sun, and then let them loose to get the next one.

spacecadet 2021-10-10 17:50

Very cool and polished game. I really liked this one even though it was pretty simple game mechanics-wise. The minimap was really cool and useful for playing. Well done! :)

subcreation 2021-10-10 17:52

Great game, felt really good to control the ship. Seemed impossible at first until I learned I could start flinging planets into the sun, a really cool mechanic! Excellent entry.

Really nice. I love the particles coming off the sun itself and the stars parallax looks super cool.
